INDIANS BATTLE YANKEES TODAY; CARDS ON SATURDAY

Sigafoos Bats at .714 Clip to End Tribe Second-Base Worries

Frank’s Big Bat Halts Trade Talk: Wingard and Cooney to Shoot Southpaw Slants at Babe Ruth and Other New York Sluggers.' BY EDDIE ASH Time* Sport* Editor SARASOTA, Fla., March 18.—Emmet McCanns Indians will face important competition and heavy artillery today and Saturday and the two exhibition tilts with big league clubs are expected to provide the old acid test for the Hoosier American Association entry. The New York Yankees, including Babe Ruth, were billed to tackle the Tribesmen at the Sarasota park this afternoon and on Saturday the St.. Louis Cardinals will return for a second conflict with the Indianapolis nine. Many dopesters are picking Yankees and Cards to be the 1932 world's series contenders and. moreover, there is always a lot of interest attached to the performance of these major outfits in this territory during the spring training season. Wingard and Cooney, vetpran southpaws, and rookies Logan or Thomas were slated to divide the pitching for the Hoosiers today, with the first named listed to start. Joe McCarthy, Yankee manager, said over the phone Thursday that Babe. Ruth would be on hand for action for a> least a part of the game, and the ballyhoo stirred up over the Bambino's $75,000 contract had the populace excited. It will be the first spring training game of three between the Indians and Yankees, the others being at St. Petersburg on March 28, and at Indianapolis, April 6. ,

The Indians complete their third week of training Saturday, and among the outstanding highlights is the fact that there hardly will be any more moves made to sell or trade Frank Sigafoos, regular second sacker. During the winter, reports were put out to the effect Sigafoos was tagged to be transferred to the Pacific Coast League, owing to faulty fielding, but just at present he 1* one of the stars of camp. .Sigafoos Bats .714 Against the Philadelphia Athletics last Saturday, Frank collected three hits. Including a triple, and against the Cardinals last Tuesday he walloped three more blows, one a double. He batted in three runs in the Cardinal clash and one against the Athletics. Counting the records of two practice skirmishes staged by the Hoosiers and the two regular exhibitions with big league clubs, Sigafoos has compiled a mark of ..714, consisting of ten hits in fourteen times at the plate and he has batted in seven runs. Furthermore, hard work in training apparently has speeded up Frank in the field and Manager McCann said Thursday he had ceased to worry over the ability of Stgafoos to come through. The veteran evidently has convinced the club bosses he is too valuable as a timely swatter to leave out of the lineup. Third Base Problem Pilot McCann’s next infield problem will be the third base situation. Elmer Yoter showed signs of weak underpinning in the practice Thursday and will be watched closely every day. The player declares his left leg, broken last year, has healed completely, and Trainer A1 Ritter says Elmer had the bad luck to injure the other leg the first day in camp. At any rate, Yoter has the appearance of a taped-up job now when he leaves the clubhouse for the diamond. Johnny Kroner, who finished at j third in 1931, is rounding into form gradually after reporting late. He has a great arm, but is slow on the paths and there is much doubt-at-tached to his batting power against American Association hurlers.
